Which is the greater energy the potential energy or kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Typically higher. Consider a gas. The air you breath is made up of billions of particles flying around all over the place. When the air is warm, these particles move faster than if the air was cold. In that sense, temperature is higher if kinetic energy is great.

Answer 2

They can be in any relationship.

If you throw a stone up into the air you impart kinetic energy to it. As it rises, it loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy until it reaches its maximum height. If you were to reach up and hold it there the stone would retain that maximum potential energy and, because it would remain motionless, it would have no kinetic energy. Once allowed to fall from its maximum height the stone would give up its potential energy gradually and gain kinetic energy as it sped up towards the ground. When it hit the ground it would have no potential energy (with respect to ground level) but maximum kinetic energy.

Answer 3

It depends on the context and specific scenario. Potential energy is energy that an object possesses due to its position or configuration, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. In some cases, potential energy may be greater (like in a raised object) and in others, kinetic energy may be greater (like in a moving object).

Answer 4

When the average kinetic energy of a substance's particles increases, the temperature of the substance increases.

Answer 5

KE = mv2 so lowering the mass or lowering the volicty reduces kinetic energy

Answer 6

Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy. As kinetic energy increases, the temperature increases. As KE decreases, the temperature decreases.

Answer 7

Higher temperature.
